<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Drshnuckels91</b></div><div>Anderson is still a negative asset man that contract isn't gonna get any better</div></div>

Elliotte Friedman i trust more then people without a track record of being right.
He says that's simply untrue and atleast 4 teams are in on the Anderson Market over 2 seasons now.
EDM,TML,NYI and now CGY have all been confirmed as kicking the tires on Anderson trying to make a deal work.

Not a huge market on him due to the factors you listed
But there's always a Market for Power Forwards who can score goals.
I mean Kevin Hayes is my favorite example as everyone says they wouldnt trade for him before this hot start they were adament about it.
People were still in on him because Power Forwards like him create room and force coaches more often then not to assign multiple guys to defend against.
If Power forwards were a Chess Piece they'd be The Queen as they're so rare and versitile their value stands out above the rest.

Any Position you name if you Add that kinda size and skill its coveted and of value.
Its why talented Giants like Chara , Burns,Edmundston , Hedman , ext all get the pick of the NHL teams when it comes to these big buggers who can move on Defense.
In the Net the bigger the goalie the more net he covers but when they move like Vasilevksy ,Bishop or Price that's a who other level .
Whether its Power Forwards,Giant Puck Moving D or Extremely Athletic Big Men in the Net players with Size and skill regarldess of contract always have a home in the NHL as long as they can play.


Most important to note is that everyone who plays with him succeeds.
Caufields 16 goals and 25 points in 21 games came only after Anderson joined his line day 1 under MSL.
Since then they've found an upgrade on Anderson as a Power Forward to fill that role so he was with Dvorak -Gally.
Gally's been productive and Dvorak had a hat trick.

His Physicality creates room for you to move like a Rodeo Clown he plays a role so others can Succeed.
Put him beside players who are established and not where he's playing the Veteran Mentor and maybe there's more potential in Anderson.
VGK for Karlsson i see being a good swap for both teams and players

The factors you listed are true but power forwards are very slippery slope

They can be huge difference makers like Dustin Brown during the kings cup runs or even guys like Ovi his whole career but with that being said they can fall off a cliff meaning have a ton of money tied up long term to them could be a crucial mistake

Guys like Dustin Penner or Milan Lucic who used to be those guys have all been payed a ton and fallen off a cliff once aged. Yes Anderson is great now but this seems to be the peak and there is a large market for him with other teams but personally I don't see why Edmonton should even want him at this point (though I understand why other teams who lack physicality with young talent would cough* cough* New Jersey) Edmonton has a terrible history with overpaying power forwards who fall off a cliff outta nowhere (Lucic, Neal, Penner, Kassian I mean the list goes on and on) There is no reason we should take on that risk when we already have enough physicality on the offence. Yes I undertand he is a solid piece for a young team needing a veteran presence to create room for those young offensive stars to blossom but Edmonton is arguably the last destination he should go to which is insane why Kenny wants him

I don't hate the guy as a player he's def valuable in a top 6 I just hate him for Edmonton.
